I guess you are assuming existence of things capable of being put in a list. Effectively? then why not use the Wi (cf Cutland's book or older explanations I have provided on the list. Help yourself with Podniek's page perhaps, or try to be just informal. > > My second assumption is: > > Objects [such as states of universes for example] have properties. You talk like if it was an axiomatic. A good test to see if it is an axiomatic consists to change the primitive words you are using by arbitrary words. You are saying "glass of bears have trees and garden". You can add that you mean that the term "glass of bear" is *intended for states of universes, but recall the goal is to provide an explanation for the appearance of the "states of universes". In general properties are modelized by sets. It is ok to presuppose some naive set theory, but then you "axiomatic" has to be clean. > > My third assumption is: > > All of the properties it is possible for objects to have can be listed.

It looks you want to be both informal and formal. It does not help me to understand what you are trying to say.
